On October 5, 1903, a school was started

through the hard work and collaboration of dedicated educators and

Catholic philanthropists. Over a century later, Peninsula Catholic
continues the traditions of beloved St. Vincents. Please ensure that
the path of education is well paved for those students who follow
in our footsteps through a financial gift to support the Annual
Campaign for Students.

Reunion Weekend - October 4-6, 2013
